Focus' most successful release in North America to date is Brokeback Mountain (2005), which earned $83,043,761 at the North Americanbox office. However, this is not counting the domestic total of Traffic (2000), which earned $124,107,477 under the USA Films banner. Focus' most successful international release is Burn After Reading (2008), which earned $161,128,228 in gross revenue.[3][4][5] The animated film Coraline (which Focus did not produce, but did distribute) was also highly profitable for the company. Although suffering its share of unsuccessful releases, Focus has been consistently profitable, and its international sales arm (unusual among studio specialty film divisions) allows it to receive the foreign as well as domestic revenues from its releases.[6] Its DVD and movie rights revenues are boosted by cult classics including Wet Hot American Summer.
